Go to Mobile network settings and go to SMSC Settings and put in +13123149810 click update. This number is for ATT US. Try looking up your SMSC Android settings on your carrier and putting it in andn hopefully it works. If not try restarting and see if it works then. Make sure u have all of your APN settings setup for your carrier 2.
I Have Radio 01.97.00R http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128963
I upload my APN for AT&T, (Update) Should be able to send and receive pictures and video to and from people for At&t only!
Download ApnManager From Market.
Put ApnManager Folder in to the internal sdcard.
Open ApnManager and click resort APN. See if u can now send and receive, If not try restarting.
My old APN had Custom Tethering that messed up Picture Messaging! You can try deleting that if u can't send or receive pictures!2.
This doesn't work for me. My SMSC number was already the one you listed, and MMS doesn't work still...
so how many APN's are listed on your setting....i have 4 (AT&T US, AT&T HSDPA, AT&T US Tether, AT&T US MMS)
i get mms now, but i got a much slower speed. around 1MB download and upload speed.
also, which one are you generally suppose to be connected to? I'm connected to AT&T US
EDIT: Actually i just found out, after about 10 minutes, your phone should be fully logged into their server. I live in Las Vegas so the territory has VERY fluctuant connection, i had moments where id get 7.2MB and then jumps down to 0.8MB. Alright, so the apn worked perfectly.
i had to enter a mms apn for fido to get mms working, smsc number was already there for my carrier. here's the settings.
Fido mms
apn: mms.fido.ca
mmsc http://mms.fido.ca
mms proxy: 205.151.011.013
mcc: 302
mnc: 370
apn type: mms
Still having issues sending and receiving MMS, I had it working previously but don't know what has changed. I've got everything set correctly per the instructions. Does anyone have any other possible solutions... though I did find it a tad weird that it still says 4.1.83 for Systerm Version, but my build number correctly reflects that it's 2.3.4. Please help.
flashing the 1.97 radio and using the supplied apn's worked for me. After a reboot.

maybe trying doing a fresh install of 2.3.4, start by flashing back to 4.1.83. it doesnt sound right that it still says 4.1.83 after you install 2.3.4, might be a bad flash. my system version is 45.3.0.mb860.retail.en.05 after flashing 2.3.4.
I am also still having trouble with my mms...I did a clean flash to 2.3.4 and updated the radio, but I am still not able to view picture messages. My apn's appear to be set correctly...any ideas?
The instructions in the OP worked for me. I had a clean install of 2.3.4 HKTW, new radio, with the v1.8 update rollup fix, and mms would not work.
1. Download APN Manager
2. Copy the folder in the OPs zip file to your Internal SD
3. Open APN Manager and do a Restore
4. Reboot phone
My APN settings were the same before I did this, but it would not work until I followed these instructions.
My phone is Verizon Droid 3 XT862.

Fully restore your phone using my Fast / Easy unbrick method, just search the general section. (All it does is restore your phone to complete stock.)
You can try other stuff, but this method seems to fix most issues that aren't "easy" to fix.
I will try this method.
But I want to know if there are something can be changed or flashed other than this rom.
I want to fix my phone's network.
It not work on cdma , gsm or wcdma.
I flash xt883 rom, but nothing happened.
Can i flash radio? Change hardware setting.
who can tell me.

You don't need the xt883 ROM in order to use the phone on any foreign gsm. The phone must be unlocked by Verizon, then you need to flash the xt883 radio.img, then edit/replace the build.prop. I would flash back to stock first, since the xt883 is a weird ROM, but you probably don't have to. There are already plenty of threads where the explanations have been given, so look around: search Verizon D3 on T-Mobile, D3 on AT&T/T-Mobile, etc.
You will have to turn off 'automatically select operator' in settings and choose manually the one you're using. T-Mobile users will only get edge and below, while AT&T users will get 3g.

I'm not sure what is wrong with your connection, but mine has problems sometimes where the phone will not recognize any available gsm networks. It's sometimes like this after I reboot my phone, but if changing my settings doesn't work, rebooting again will usually work.
Is your phone unlocked by Verizon? Did you flash the xt883 radio.img since changing your ROM? Did you replace your build.prop file with the tweaked one? I will try to find these resources for you if you still need them, but you should be able to find them by searching if you haven't already. After doing these things, you just have to reboot then go to your settings and tell it to prefer gsm. On T-Mobile, you wont get umts. On AT&T you will get gsm and umts.
In settings, you need to select wifi & network settings -> mobile networks -> network mode -> then choose gsm/umts, back to mobile networks -> under gsm/umts settings, click select network, then choose gsm only for T-Mobile or automatic for AT&T, then click operator select, select network and choose your operator. Select automatically will have a check box next to it and you should deselect it. I didn't have to put in my apn settings, because my sim card provides those automatically.
If these settings tweaks don't work for you then I really have no clue what will fix it because it is likely that something else is wrong. I can't be of much more help without seeing the device. I would suggest to keep playing around in settings and just use your head to see why it's not connecting. If you are getting voice and text service on your carrier, data shouldn't be a problem if your settings are done correctly.
Good luck!
Droid 3 with stock xt862 ROM working on T-Mobile via xt883 radio.img & custom build.prop
hi,i am using milestone 3(ME863)@Hong Kong version.
after i flashed DROID3-CM9-03-28-SELFKANG, my 3g data no longer works, the signal is fine, i can make/receive calls but as for data, market/internet anything requiring a connection it just does not work unless connected to a wifi network.
Moreover, i have changed the build.prop to gsm but i still cannot use 3g data.
so how can i get back the 3g data?
(sorry for my bad english )
there's a new issue, after i pressed the USA band, my phone did not have any signal. How can i get back the signal?
Searching pays. There's this fix here. The poster uses a XT862 but has XT883's (a.k.a ME863) radio installed on it so his phone should be on the same page as yours and you can safely try this fix. There are lot of guys here using Droid 3 on GSM so you should look around a bit.
Good luck!

thx for your reply. But i still cannot get any 3g data after replaced the build.prop, i only receive the signal. However, when i changed back to stock rom, i can use 3G data and signal. Moreover, i modified the libmoto_ril.so. i can receive 3G data for a second. After that it will disconnect automatically and then it will turn on for a second again.
How can i solve the problem?

Have you updated the internet settings in the device? After flashing CM9 and if you are using GSM, you have to manually go in and set the wap settings if they are not correct on the sim card.

thx for your reply. After i flash cm9 again, i can get the signal again but the new problem is that i cannot use 3g data....
Are that all of the custom roms in this froum cannot support gsm 3g data? i changed the build.prop of all that rom but i still cannot use 3g data
There might be a solution for the 3G Data Connection.
I have a Droid 3 XT862 with the Chinese Radio (XT883 as yours i believe) and my provider is AT&T. I am running CM9 and after i used the buid.prop from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23884104&postcount=1368
3G connection worked just fine. Don't try to flash this zip file through safestrap as it won't (at least no go for my occasion). Uznip it and copy the build.prop file to sd card. Then move it to /system by using Root Explorer (so you can mount /system as RW). Before do that, rename the old build.prop to build.prop.bak so you can have a copy in case new one won't work. You must also change the permissions to the new build.prop to rw-r-r . Finally reboot your phone and see if it will work.
My phone is running CM9 with XT883 radio and my 3G is working just fine.
Simple and to the point.

This is only working for ATT and StraightTalk - ATT Sim. If you have another carrier you will have to do the procedure yourself below.

i have a att sim, flashed it and still does the same as before flashing. says dial 611 or go to myatt.com to activate hotspot?
Not working for ST AT&T sim, wireless or tethered. 1.08 odexed.
I can't speak to JMZ's flash, but I can guarantee the manual method works (& worked for him, also). Give it a try.

Well. It seems I have hotspot enabled on my plan but not getting charged for it. That's why this mod works for me but jot anyone else.
So the Att version is broken

Don't know. Typing this now on my A500 using First hotspot with Straight Talk/ATT SIM.
Flashed the zip and it didn't work for StraightTalk. Not familiar with the installer but seems to be a script bug when checking for ATT / ST selection.
Manually copied the ST db and it didn't work, got the error "dial 611 or go to myatt.com to activate hotspot"
And it changed my ST APN settings.
I manually updated the db with SQLlite and got it to work with StraightTalk.
The ST db file in the zip uses the old APN setings, I was provisioned with the new settings.
See this thread for details on the ST APN settings.

No, nothing in build.prop. What ROM are you running? What SIM are you trying to use? I was using AT&T via ST, is your T-Mobile via ST?
If ST, was there a recent change in the APN settings? I have read that there were some updated AT&T ST APN settings, but they do not work as well as the old ones, at least in some markets. I tried them to see if there was an improvement and actually lost all data, so reverted.
Stock 1.08.
I'm outside the US at the moment, so my carrier couldn't be further from AT&T, T-Mobile or any of their MVNO's. But the APN settings are correct: tethering works with factory unlocked phones.

You need to be rooted and s-off for changes to stick in system files. Good luck.
Ran into a tethering issue after addition of a third, but not selected APN. Tethering showed connected but there was no Internet connection. I tried setting up the new ST settings to see if my SIM could access LTE. It could not. I then simply re-selected my original APN. All seemed to work OK, except the tethered wifi device could not see the internet. The additional setting changed the order in the telephony DB list. Went back to just the two APNs and all is again fine.
I cannot get telephony.db to stick on my friend's First for some reason. No hash match after reboot every time. Tried zip installer and ADB push, in TWRP and in OS. 1.08...1 S-off and rooted. Also tried deleting telephony.db-journal first like the installer script does. So strange because I've done it with my phone. Note that I had downgraded from 1.08...4 to do this.
Is JmzJBSenseMyst_v3 new? That's what im running. I tried this on MEDUSA as well with no go.
It basically messes the phone up completely un-useable since I'm on Straight talk att blue sim and on apn - tfdata.
So how do you get tethering on this phone with apn - tfdata for att straight talk blue sim for 4g lte... ?
I can't get MMS to work at all... it won't download says download error even after putting the mms proxy and port 80 etc..

Does not work, on my Htc First, I don't undertand anything is not very clear, I need help i really want to have the tether option on my device
This may be an old question, but I've been unable to find an answer...
I have an off-contract verizon Droid 3. So I flashe the radio ROM with the Chinese 883 variant. I took it to the UK and put a "3" SIM into it. I got voice + txt, but I didn't get data.
(I didn't have a PC in the UK so I couldn't do more testing... had to wait until I got home)
OK, I come back to the US and I do some testing...
I rebuild from scratch with 5.7.906. I force the machine into GSM mode. Then I use "Network System Information" (NSI). I see my SIM card; my UK phone number, MMC, MNC. But, of course, it doesn't work in the US becuase the phone won't talk to US GSM networks with Verizon firmware.
I change the radio to the Chinese radio.img, as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812 - I also replace build.prop, /system/lib/libmoto_ril.so and /system/etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options
Now I reboot and I can see the GSM network (T-Mobile, in this case), but NSI doesn't get to see SIM contents; no phone number, no MNC, no MMC. And so I'm back to phone+txt but no data; the APN isn't picked up.
Do I need to do something else to get data working?
(Probably if I leave it with the Verizon radio ROM then next time I go to England I'll get data, but it means I don't get the SIM working while in the US).

Grab a T-Mobile prepaid SIM so you can test further. You shouldn't have to replace any files except the radio and build.prop for the 883 Chinese radio from the Verizon XT862 radio/build.prop.

OK, I rebuilt back to Verizon factory just so I have a clean slate.
I don't have a T-Mobile SIM but I do have an (expired, deactived) UK Virgin Mobile SIM.
I put that in the phone with the Verizon Radio ROM and, as expected, it won't connect to AT&T. NSI will show me the MNC, MCC, phone number and othe SIM details.
I switch to Chinese ROM and build.prop... and I can still see the details! This is something new...
OK, with that level of success I switch back to the 3 SIM card. And... no data.
So:
Verizon Radio and build: 3 SIM visible in NSI but won't connect. Virgin SIM visible in NSI but won't connect
Chinese Radio and build: 3 SIM _not_ visible in NSI. Connects for voice+txt, no data. Virgin SIM visible but won't connect ('cos expired)
Hmm, looks like some interaction between the radio and the SIM. Odd!
Sorry I meant get a T-Mobile SIM so you can test the 883 radio.
What testing are you proposing? Other than "data works with a T-Mobile SIM" of course
Since the MNC and MMC aren't visible with the Chinese ROM and the 3 SIM, no APN is selected and so no data... with the Virgin SIM the MNC and MMC are visible and I can see APNs in the APN settings screen.
all i ever did was 1. get unlock code , 2.flash 883 radio , 3. change build,prop.
have to root first of course.
never ran into an issue except once when i accidentally erased some files in the system folder.
I have never understood why install xt883 radio when xt862 works great with gsm networks (all G/E/3G/H connection modes with data). Is there any reason for doing that?

It's not the SIM, it's the network. A UK "3" SIM won't join T-Mobile or AT&T with the Verizon radio ROM, but it will with the alternate ROM.

Hi and morning to you. I work for your carrier (TECH SUPPORT) so i think i know what the issue is. you can call them and verify this i'm sure they will agree but dont mention my name
3 sim card only works on 3g network and when you put the phone in a 2g phone it dosent. i know the droid 3 is 3g but like you there are 80 % d3 owners having same issue of no 3g data. when you root and install a rom the data capability goes away. try this .......
set up a new apn WITH ► NAME : 3, ► APN : THREE.CO.UK and go to last option ► apn type and type the word "default" then save and reboot. dont forget to activate mobile data. i think it will at least give you 2g kind of internet. i have droid 3 and i took it when i was in the u.s and now in india
lemme know it it works. forgot to mention....there is patch to get 3g data working (google) it.

No this doesn't work because the MNC and MCC aren't visible and so the phone won't select the APN.
Sad it dosent work. Why dont you upgrade phone to Droid 3 stock (download unbrick Droid .bat from Droid 3 developement unbrick/root 1st post and then start from scratch like rooting , safestrap stc ) in case if u flash n if there is no signal then activate roaming. I have done d same.

That's exactly what I did; I reflashed to 5.7.906 using moto-fastboot. With the VZW radio ROM I can see the SIM MNC MCC but (of course) it won't talk GSM in the US. With the Chinese radio ROM it'll talk to the network but without data 'cos it doesn't see the MNC MCC.
The whole question is moot now 'cos I've now got an S4 and cut the SIM to size; that works just fine

I've ported xt861 (2.3.6) rom to xt862 (called it cROM) to use it in Europe/Poland, but have same problem with data transfer. The solution was:
1. download full apns-conf.xml file with most of world networks apns (about 160kb)
2. copy the file to /system/etc/apns-conf_0.xml
3. create two links
ln -s /system/etc/apns-conf_0.xml /system/etc/apns-conf_.xml
ln -s /system/etc/apns-conf_0.xml /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
4. reboot
Try this (from terminal):
su
rm -R /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
reboot
